Sacrificial Anodes :
- We at SUPERCON INDIA are manufacturer of sacrificial anodes.
- Sacrificial anodes are made up of Aluminium, Zinc ,Magnesium.
- The shape of the anode can be decided on the basis of factors such as the shape of the equipment or part to be protected; space accessibility and installation ease; openness of various shapes in various conditions; and so on
- Anodes can be fitted to the equipment to be protected by different methods like by bolting , welding or using brackets or ties.
- The rate at which any anode is consumed is a function of its size—and
how much metal it is protecting. In
simple terms, if anodes remain
unchanged with use, something’s
probably wrong with the bonding system, and underwater metals may not
be properly protected. If they are consumed too rapidly, or if the rate
increases noticeably, there’s probably
something wrong with the system, or
stray current corrosion is at work.
ALUMINIUM ANODES
Electrical potential – (-)1.1 Volts
Aluminium Anodes have advantages like lighter in weight, with higher capacity than zinc and a slower corrosion level than magnesium. They are a popular choice due to their ability to perform in different water types and their increased longevity due to their increased current capacity compared to aluminium and zinc. They are also not considered a pollutant so are better for the environment. Aluminium Anodes can be used in seawater, as well as brackish and fresh water. We are a leading supplier and exporter of Anodes, therefore you are guaranteed the highest quality when purchasing our products.
ZINC ANODES
Electrical potential – (-)1.05 Volts
We have Zinc Anodes available in a range of designs which are specifically crafted to offer different conductive properties and connection options to suit particular types of structures. Hull anodes are designed to flush mount against the hulls of ships, tanks via built in steel straps. Anodes can be manufactured with many different core and attachment types.
MAGNESIUM ANODES
Electrical potential – (-)1.6 Volts
Magnesium Anodes are very electronegative, therefore they are increasingly able to supply electrons to the more electropositive steel when in electrical contact in water, resulting in cathodic protection of the steel surface. They have very high efficiency and the highest available driving potential, which is an advantage in higher resistivity soils. Magnesium Anodes can be used for both underground and under water applications but work best in fresh water.
Please contact us with your requirement at our mail : anodes@superconindia.com
We would me more than happy to supply anodes according to your drawings.
More than 100 numbers of dies available with us, let us reduce lead time and supply anodes efficiently in minimum possible time.
Jacket Anodes :
We at Supercon India specialize in manufacturing Aluminum Anodes weighing up to 1400 lbs. single piece.
Sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems efficiency is affected by five major factors which are possible to control and overwatch. These factors are:
- Purity of raw materials & casting conditions
- Preferred alloy regarding water salinity
- Cathodic protection systems & anode installation
- Anode lifetime & replacement
- Cathodic protection systems & anode placement design
Retrofit Anode System :
The existing cathodic protection system of offshore platforms, such as oil and gas production platforms, wind power foundations, steel pipe piles of bridges and wharfs, etc., may not be able to meet the requirements of the entire life cycle, or when the facility needs to continue to serve after the design life is completed, the existing cathodic protection system cannot meet the requirements of its continued service then Retrofit anode system are used.
